GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB vs GeForce GTX 1630

Intro

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 1630, which has core clock speeds of 1740 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 512 SPUs along with 32 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Memory Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 1630 should in theory be a lot faster than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB in general. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		98304 MB/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB		63360 MB/sec
	Difference: 34944 (55%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 1630 will be quite a bit (more or less 126%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		55680 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB		24624 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 31056 (126%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 1630 is superior to the GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB, and very much so. (explain)

GeForce GTX 1630		27840 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 8800 GTS (G80) 320MB		10260 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 17580 (171%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
